Administrative Core

Center Leadership

The administrative core provides center leadership, sets the center research agenda, and maintains an environment that promotes quality research on normal aging and diseases of the brain. The ADRC is administratively a part of the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging (SBCoA) and is housed in the Sanders-Brown Building. This core promotes the integration of center cores, pilot projects, and educational programs of the ADRC. The core is managed by an executive committee composed of core leaders who meet monthly to assist the core director, Linda Van Eldik, PhD, with center management and decision making.

An external advisory committee of nationally recognized experts meets yearly to evaluate research progress and a local advisory committee, chaired by the dean of the College of Medicine, provides an annual administrative review. The director of the administrative core serves as the primary liaison with the Center on Aging Foundation, whose major focus is to raise funds for Alzheimer's disease programs.
